"Tehran will not send its military into the war zone to help Hamas."

"There are good reasons to believe that Iran has decided not to enter the conflict directly."

"The likelihood of an expanded regional war... is low."

"[T]he risk of direct US involvement in the [Israel-Hamas war]... is higher than most people realize."

Despite no country wanting a regional conflict, "each country acts in such a way that exponentially increases its likelihood."

"[D]evelopments on the ground have the potential to escalate quickly, making the unthinkable [a major Middle East war] unavoidable."

The Israel-Hamas war "raises the very real risk of a catastrophic regional conflagration."

"[T]he risk of an expansion of this conflict is real, very, very real and extremely dangerous."

“Due to the expansion of the intensity of the war against Gaza’s civilian residents, expansion of the scope of the war has become inevitable.”

“Everything is in place for a cascading series of events that will culminate in Israel attacking Iran.”

Will the Israel-Gaza War Lead to Regional Escalation?

"Neither Iran nor Lebanese Hezbollah is at all likely to pursue such a course of action [a full-scale attack on Israel]."

"The fighting will remain contained between Israel and Iran, and will not persist for more than a few weeks."

"Iran is unlikely to launch an all-out confrontation with Israel over Haniyeh's assassination."

"An all-out war between Israel and Iran is not inevitable, but it remains a serious risk."

"Israel & US manufactured a fake crisis with Iran that could lead to all-out war."

Yemen's Houthi rebels announced Thursday that their military chief of staff, Major General Muhammad Abdul Karim al-Ghamari, had been killed, with Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz later confirming that Israel was responsible for his assassination.

Al-Ghamari "died of his wounds" following an Israeli airstrike on August 28 in Yemen’s capital, Sanaa, Katz said. The strike also killed Houthi Prime Minister Ahmed al-Rahawi, several other ministers, with the group vowing that the "martyrs" would be avenged.

The Houthis announced that Al-Ghamari will be succeeded by Yousef Hassan al-Madani, commander of the western military region since 2017. The region encompasses the Red Sea coast and controls Yemen's coastal areas on the Red Sea, as well as commanding the country's naval forces.

Al-Ghamari, who was sanctioned by the U.S. in 2021, served as Houthi chief of staff since 2016 and received training from Hezbollah operatives and Iran's Revolutionary Guard in Syria, Lebanon and Iran, according to Israeli military sources.

While the Houthis’ leader, Abdel-Malik al-Houthi, praised what he described as al-Ghamari’s major role in Yemen’s military operations in support of Gaza, and vowed further "punishment" for Israel, Katz vowed that Israel will take similar action "against any threat in the future as well."

Israel's precision strikes demonstrate superior military capabilities that even the US and Saudi Arabia haven't matched against the Houthis. The elimination of top Houthi commanders like al-Ghamari represents a major blow to Iran's proxy network and disrupts the terrorist organization responsible for attacking civilian areas and disrupting global Red Sea trade. These successful operations showcase Israel's advanced intelligence gathering and operational excellence in dismantling the command structure directing hundreds of attacks against Israeli cities.

Israel's brutal campaign has murdered 31 journalists in Yemen alone, marking the deadliest attack on media workers in 16 years and part of a systematic pattern of targeting civilians across the region. The assassination of Yemeni military leaders fighting in solidarity with Palestinians exposes Israel's escalating war crimes while Yemen's resistance operations continue unabated. These strikes against legitimate resistance forces supporting Gaza demonstrate Israel's desperate attempts to silence opposition through terror tactics that violate international law.
